What do you consider a long run when you here other people talk about their WEEKLY long runs?
I'd say if I hear anything about 12-13 or above i give them a thumbs up. Just wondering what others think. I should say i am a college runner and i hang with college aged runners.
42 year old rec runner. Guess I'd call 90 minutes and up a long run. If multiple runs in a week exceed that, the longest = the long run.
I have a sports hernia so I can't do more then about 12 at a time, but have done plenty of 15-16 milers, a few 18 milers, a couple 20 milers and even a 24 miler...do I get a thumbs up mister?
I would say 80-90 minutes and up so around the 12 mile mark I would consider long.
12 bare minimum
I think the biggest factor is that it depends on what distance you are training for. A 1500m runner might only have a long run of 12-13 miles while a 10k runner might have a long run of 18-20. I do agree that once a run gets over 90 minutes that it becomes a long run, although many 10k runners have a couple of runs at the 90 minute range.
16-20 seems pretty common. I can't do long runs because I always get hurt, but I usually do a couple half marathons a year. Other than that, I never run over 10.

Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
